New Anthoney’s Farms once again showcased its products and innovations at ProFood ProPack and AgBiz 2026, one of Sri Lanka’s leading exhibitions covering the food, packaging and agriculture sectors. The event was held from August 21 to 23 at the BMICH in Colombo.
The company’s exhibition presence, spanning stalls D20, D21, D34 and D35, continued its strong track record at the event. New Anthoney’s Farms has previously received consecutive accolades at the exhibition, including Best Stall in the Food and Beverage category in 2023 and Best Stall – Agri Biz in 2024.
Visitors to the stall were able to sample a selection of dishes prepared for the exhibition while learning more about the poultry products behind the brand. With nearly four decades of experience, New Anthoney’s has built its proposition around antibiotic-free chicken, supported by independent testing throughout the production process, from the hatchery to the consumer.
A key highlight of the exhibition was a live cooking demonstration by Sanjula Manoj of Hasalaka, who was crowned the first-ever MasterChef Sri Lanka winner on May 9. During the August 22 and 23 sessions, he prepared and demonstrated dishes using Haritha Hari and Crizzpys chicken products at the New Anthoney’s Farms stall.
The demonstrations also reflected the company’s role as the Official Poultry Supplier to MasterChef Sri Lanka, the first local edition of the international culinary format.
Alongside its exhibition activities, New Anthoney’s Farms also conducted a Crizzpys promotional campaign through social media. The campaign focused on the brand’s ready-to-eat frozen crispy chicken range and offered three winners an opportunity to enter the MasterChef Sri Lanka kitchen alongside a Season 1 finalist.
Participants were invited to nominate the finalist they would most like to cook with, follow the brand’s social media page, like the promotional post and tag a friend. The winners were announced on August 15 and were given the opportunity to develop their own Crizzpys-inspired signature dishes.
Sri Lankan Corporate Health & Productivity Awards 2026 Launched to Honour Healthier Workplaces
The Sri Lankan Corporate Health & Productivity Awards (SLCHPA) 2026 was officially launched, introducing an expanded edition of the platform dedicated to recognising organisations that promote employee wellbeing, workplace health and productivity across the country.
The launch marks a new chapter for the initiative, which aims to encourage businesses to place their employees at the heart of organisational success and recognise the important link between a healthy workforce and sustainable business performance.
Organised by the Chamber of Lankan Entrepreneurs (COYLE) in partnership with the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO), with Sampath Bank PLC serving as the Title Partner, SLCHPA 2026 will recognise organisations that view investment in their people as an essential component of long-term business growth.
Through its partnership with JETRO, the Awards also bring Japanese expertise and international perspectives on workplace wellbeing and productivity to the initiative, supporting its objective of encouraging globally relevant workplace practices among Sri Lankan businesses.
Since its establishment, SLCHPA has developed into a platform that encourages organisations to look beyond conventional business performance indicators and recognise the contribution of a healthy and engaged workforce to organisational success.
The Awards have previously highlighted organisations implementing impactful workplace initiatives while encouraging businesses across multiple sectors to strengthen their approaches to employee wellbeing, workplace culture and productivity.
Building on this foundation, the 2026 edition will expand its scope by recognising a wider range of organisations, highlighting innovative workplace initiatives and creating additional value for participating companies. The Awards will also provide businesses with an opportunity to benchmark their practices, gain national recognition and demonstrate their commitment to creating workplaces where employees can thrive.
Workplace health and productivity have become increasingly important as organisations respond to a rapidly changing business environment. Supportive workplaces can contribute to employee wellbeing and engagement while helping organisations strengthen workplace culture, retain talent and build long-term resilience.
Through SLCHPA 2026, participating organisations will have an opportunity to demonstrate how investments in employee wellbeing can create value for both employees and businesses.
